VASHON ISLAND
HUNTER EDUCATION
Thanks for your inquiry about our Washington
State Hunter Education class. Our class for 2005 will start on May 11
at 7:00 PM and will be held on the grounds of the Vashon Sportsmen’s
Club at 19720 Singer Road SW. (Vashon 98070). Through our hard work
the class is kept free of charge but you must attend every session.
Since we are located on an island serviced by ferry we must warn you
that there is a fare involved plus extra time involved in travel.
Check Washington State Ferry schedule beforehand. The class is geared
for island residents but we have had off-island folks commute.
Please preregister with us to hold your
spot. Class size will be held to twenty. Officially, there is no
minimum age but it is recommended that students under twelve take the
class with parent or other adult. We will be doing a field course,
which is a shoot/no shoot test for safety, gun handling and good
judgment. We will be doing a live fire session including firing a 243
deer rifle. We will be taking the standard written test, which can be
given orally if student has trouble with reading. We test for
knowledge, skill and attitude.
Our class is eighteen hours. We team-teach
with three certified volunteer instructors with a combined experience
of over fifty years in offering this course. Experts in archery,
muzzle loading and survival are invited to address the students also.
We strive to keep students involved and interested by a mix of
classroom and hands-on activities.
